Study Abroad at the University of Liverpool
Study Abroad students at the University of Liverpool have access to a wide range of modules across our departments.
The majority of modules are worth 15 or 30 Liverpool credits: you can take a minimum of 45 credits and a maximum
of 60 credits per semester while studying with us. When selecting modules, ensure that:
✓ Your choices are approved by your home University
✓ Erasmus students: at least 50% of your modules must be in the subject area listed on your learning agreement
✓ You are eligible for the course
The University is divided into three faculties which house our academic schools and departments:

Understanding this Guide: Glossary of Terms
Module: At the University of Liverpool, a unit of study is referred to as a module. A course refers to someone’s degree
of study; i.e. someone may take an Economics module as part of their wider Business related course.
Credits: While studying at Liverpool, you will earn transferrable credits to take back to your home University. Whist at
Liverpool you must be enrolled on a minimum of 45 credits and a maximum of 60. 60 Liverpool credits are equivalent
to 30 ECTS. You must list a minimum of 90 credits on your application in order to have back-ups.
International Opportunities Advisor (IOA): Each academic department has an IOA who will review your module
selections in Mobility Online. They will approve or reject your choices based on your academic transcript and the pre-
requisites of the module. If your choice is rejected you may need to make further choices; see page 7 for more details.
Please note that an approval by your IOA does not mean you will be registered for the module; it may be that there is
a timetable clash with your other modules or it will be at capacity.
If you’re taking modules from only one school/department, you will have only one IOA. If you take modules from
multiple schools/departments, you will have IOAs in each. You will meet your IOA(s) during mandatory academic
meetings at the start of the semester, where they’ll share important details about the academics in their
school/department. If you have multiple IOAs, you should attend the meetings with each of them.
Level: Study Abroad students are generally recommended to take level 4-6 (years 1-3) modules. All modules in this
guide are organized by level, so you can clearly see which modules will be appropriate for your year of study.
Level Year of Study
4 1st
5 2nd
6 3rd (final year)
7 Postgraduate (Masters)
Semester The academic year comprises two semesters. Semester 1 takes place between September and January.
Semester 2 starts in late January and finishes in June. When selecting modules ensure your choice takes place in the
correct semester; you will be rejected for any modules not offered in your semester of study. Students from the US,
Canada, Hong Kong, and Singapore are eligible to request taking their exams on their home campus rather than
returning to Liverpool. More information about this process and the associated fee will be given to you upon arrival.
Pre-requisites Each module lists pre-requisites that you must have before enrolling on the module details page (linked
to from the module codes). This could be prior experience in the subject area or a specific module that you must have
taken the equivalent of at your home university. Do not apply for modules for which you do not have the pre-
requisites.

How To Use This Guide ✓ In the Guide, you will find each school or department listed alphabetically. You can go straight to a particular
school or department by clicking on its title in the Table of Contents.
✓ Read the guidance closely where available. You should use the list below each school to select your modules.
Note that the modules are organized by Level, please select modules that are appropriate for your year of
study.
✓ Identify modules for which you are eligible, would like to study, and are approved by your home university.
Input the module codes and titles into your Mobility Online application. Be sure to write the module code and
title exactly as they appear in this guide when you insert them into your application.
✓ Your modules will then be subject to academic approval by your International Opportunities Advisors (IOAs).
You cannot be issued an offer until you have been approved for at least 45 credits. Therefore we advise you
to list at least 90 credits worth of modules so that you have back-ups should you not be approved for your
first choices or you have a timetable clash.
PLEASE NOTE: List your modules in Mobility Online in order of preference. Where possible you will be registered for
the first 60 credits for which you are approved, but this is not guaranteed due to unforeseen timetabling and
availability issues. Therefore, you should list back-up modules to ensure you access modules you need to study.
Any guidance listed under each school/department or recommended modules are given directly from our
International Opportunities Advisors (IOAs) regarding modules from their subject areas. To learn more about each
module, please click on the hyperlink in the Code and you will be brought to a module details page.
Frequently Asked Questions Can I take modules from any department?
Erasmus+ students should take at least 50% of their modules from the subject area of their learning agreement.
Beyond this and for other visiting and exchange students, you are free to take a selection of modules, but it is your
responsibility to ensure the credits will be transferrable to your home university. Furthermore, ensure that you meet
the pre-requisites for the modules.
Note that taking modules from two or more different departments increases the likelihood of timetabling clashes as
the timetables are created by year and by school/department.
I have core modules essential to my degree progression; can I study these at Liverpool?
We do not advise that you take core modules while studying abroad, as we cannot guarantee module availability. We
would advise you to study elective or optional modules with us to ensure you get your preferred choices and can
transfer credit back home.
The links to the module details pages aren’t working, what do I do?
If you encounter link problems, please e-mail erasmus@liverpool.ac.uk
How many credits can I take?
In order to study with us, you must be enrolled on a minimum of 45 Liverpool credits. You can study a maximum of
60 Liverpool credits. Remember, however, to list more modules than you intend to take on your application (see next
point).
8
Once my modules are approved, are they guaranteed?
Due to timetabling and class sizes, we cannot guarantee that you will be registered for your approved modules exactly
as they appear on your offer letter. You should therefore list at least 90 credits worth of modules in order of
preference to give yourself back-up choices. Where possible, you will be registered for your first 60 approved credits.
Note that module registration takes place on a first-come, first-served basis based on when you submitted your
modules on Mobility Online for approval.
How long will it take to receive an offer once I have inputted my module choices?
We work with our academic colleagues to get your modules approved as soon as possible. At peak times, there may
be a delay, and we thank you for your patience in the interim.
I have been approved for less than 45 credits, what should I do?
If you are approved for less than 45 credits, you will receive an e-mail asking you to select further module choices. Use
this Guide to select your further choices and e-mail them to erasmus@liverpool.ac.uk.
Can I see the class times for my modules?
You will be able to access your timetable shortly before the start of the semester. The central timetables are not
finalized until this time.
I have received an offer but have changed my mind; can I change my modules?
After you have received an offer, your next opportunity to edit your module choices is within the first 2 weeks of the
semester. We will explain this process thoroughly during orientation.
Can I take other modules aside from those listed here?
Generally, no. This list has been compiled with each of our IOAs to ensure it’s a list that includes what you may be
eligible to take as a study abroad student. If a module has been left off this list, that’s because it is not available for
study abroad students. In case there is a module you’re interested in that isn’t listed here (e.g. 4th year Master’s
modules), these may be discussed on a case-by-case basis with some schools or departments. In this case, please
contact us at Erasmus@liverpool.ac.uk for more information.

Archaeology, Classics, and Egyptology (ACE), Department of General Guidance: Access to some language modules (e.g. Greek, Latin) depend on the level of previous experience.
You must have completed appropriate courses/classes in the language at your home university if you want to do higher
level (2nd year or above) language modules.
If you do not have any experience with the language in question, you should take 1st year modules.
You should also check the pre-requisites for non-language modules carefully. 2nd and 3rd year modules may require
detailed subject knowledge. If you do not have this, you should choose a 1st year module.

Architecture, School of General Guidance: Students will need to submit a portfolio of work which will be reviewed by the International
Opportunities Advisor from the Liverpool School of Architecture. The IOA will in exceptional circumstances allow Study
Abroad students to choose first year modules*, however this will be on a case by case basis. The Liverpool School of
Architecture does not accept Study Abroad students who are in their final year of their degree at their home university.
Study Abroad students who are looking to select modules from the second & third year within the Undergraduate
Architecture programme are reminded that significant timetable clashes (particularly with Studio sessions & lectures)
will occur and it is advisable to choose modules from the same year to avoid these clashes.
MArch Students: Students entering in first semester of the fifth year of the MArch programme need to discuss in
advance whether they are to take the dissertation module at their home university or indicate a suitable topic and
question to be considered for this module on their application to The University of Liverpool.

COMM304* Environmental Communication
Global heating, deforestation, natural disasters, mass extinction of
wildlife - the world is currently facing extraordinary environmental
degradation that increasingly affects people's daily lives and our
common future on this planet. At the same time, the veracity of
these issues as well as questions of remedies are being heavily
contested. It is the news media and social media platforms where
viewpoints are promoted, exchanged, discussed and the battle for
dominant issue interpretations is fought. In this module, students
will learn about the most salient fault lines of mediated
environmental discourse. Who are the stakeholders that engage in
environmental debates and what are their arguments? What are
15 First Semester
25
the challenges for journalists and other content providers in
communicating complex environmental issues to their respective
audience? And what do we know about the short- and long-term
effects of different forms of communication and sometimes widely
differing arguments and narratives? Students will develop the
knowledge and analytical skills to be able to tackle these issues via
their own theory-driven and empirical work.
COMM305* Queer Film, Video, and Documentary
Introduces students to queer theory and queer politics through the
history and analysis of the production and reception of moving
images; encourages students to develop advanced moving
image analysis skills and use them to differentiate between the
forms and practices of film, video and documentary; introduces key
concepts and key theories around LGBTQ+ identity as historically,
culturally, and politically situated; encourages students to widen
their knowledge and understanding of LGBTQ+ equality and
diversity through the theory, history, ethics, and politics of queer
moving images.
15 First Semester
COMM316* American Independent Cinema
American independent cinema represents a mode of filmmaking
which is distinct from mainstream Hollywood. In this module, we
examine this phenomenon by exploring the industrial and
economic conditions that have given birth to independent films,
especially in the post-1980 period.
15 Second Semester
COMM300* Issues in ‘Cult’ Television
This module engages with the multiple applications of the term
‘cult’, offering you the opportunity to critique the notion of cult
television in terms of its textual, producer and fan community-
orientated properties. We engage with cult texts from a number of
genres – from cult classics such as The Prisoner (1967-1968) and
Doctor Who (1964- ), to more recent TV series which straddle
definitions of ‘cult’, ‘quality’ and alternative TV, including Sex in the
City (1998-2004), Breaking Bad (2008-2013) and Sense 8 (2015-
2018).
15 Second Semester
COMM301* News, Media, and Society
News is created to appeal to audiences and to privilege particular
voices, so it prioritises certain ways of explaining the world. This
module examines the construction of news through journalists’
choices and values, exploring notions of objectivity and
impartiality, ‘agenda-setting’ and ‘news values. We also look at the
15 Second Semester
26
challenges posed to the quality of news in the digital era, in the face
of declining revenues and the rise of social media
COMM312 Introduction to Strategic Communication 15 Second Semester
COMM318* Popular Culture, Language, and Politics
We are constantly interacting with popular culture, though all
these communicative activities are infused with power relations
and ideologies. This module explores how popular culture can be
political. Drawing on a number of ideas about how to examine
popular culture, but principally on discourse analysis, we analyse a
range of artefacts such as films, television programmes, digital
popular culture (memes, animations, mash-ups, parodies all shared
on social media), popular music and the tabloid press.

Life Sciences, School of General Guidance: No specific guidelines – each application is considered individually. Students may select LIFE coded
modules from years 1, 2 and 3, depending on their academic background and interest. Students should be aware that
many modules normally have pre-requisite modules. There is also a risk that there may be timetable clashes between
modules at the different levels.
Please note LIFE218, LIFE219, LIFE220 and LIFE235 are only open to Anatomy students after discussion with the
anatomy programme director. Students must have significant anatomy dissection experience to be able to take
LIFE349 and need to provide evidence/information about this to be accepted.

Management School (ULMS) Postgraduate modules are not available to study abroad students. It is vital that students have completed the
necessary pre-requisite study for each module that they apply for, otherwise they may find the modules difficult when
they arrive. If the student’s transcript does not suggest they have completed the appropriate pre-requisites, they will
not be allowed to take that module or will be contacted for further information or an alternative will be suggested.
Only students who are majoring in business related subjects at their home University are able to take four modules
per semester with the Management School. Students who are not majoring in a business related subject will only be
able to select up to two modules per semester from the Management School. Students should also have an English
language ability equivalent to IELTS 6.5 / TOEFL 570 in order to undertake modules in the Management School.
If you have any queries about the modules listed in this booklet, please contact the Management School’s Study
Abroad Officer, John Green at ULMSStudyAbroad@Liverpool.ac.uk. More information about each module can be

Modern Languages and Cultures, Department of The Department of Modern Languages and Cultures consists of the follow subject areas: Basque, Catalan, Chinese,
Film Studies, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
General Guidance: In MLC we offer a wide range of both language and culture modules. Applications are considered
individually, and acceptance is based on prior experience and suitability. Students should bear in mind that they will
usually need to have an appropriate level of competence in the target language (usually, B1/B2 and above) to be able
to study materials in the original on cultural modules. Language modules at Liverpool are offered at 5 different levels,
where the four letter prefix indicates the language and the final two digits of the code the language level (from 01 to
12). French (FREN) is used below as an example:
Beginner (A1/A1+): FREN101/102
Elementary (A2/A2+): FREN103/104
Intermediate (B1): FREN105/106
Advanced (B1+/B2): FREN207/208
Proficiency (C1/C2): FREN311/312
These modules are open to Study Abroad students with the appropriate prior language-learning experience. N.B. In
some language areas modules are taught together at a faster pace: e.g. PORT112, CHIN256.
In the following languages, modules 112 and 134 will not normally be available to Study Abroad students: CHIN, FREN,
GRMN, ITAL, SPAN. Instead, students with no or little knowledge of the language can take Open Languages modules:
101 (CEFR - A1 level), 102 (CEFR - A1+ level), 103 (CEFR - A2 level), 104 (CEFR - A2+ level).
All language areas: Language modules are not open to native speakers of that language. MODL312 is not normally
open to Study Abroad students, however requests may be considered if the applicant has previous knowledge of
translation theory, e.g. through completion of MODL311 at Liverpool, and has an English language level of C2. For both
MODL311 and MODL312 students need to be aware that the direction of translation is into English; students should
only translate out of their first language.
ITAL 101 is closed to students and/or speakers of another Romance language. Students should enrol instead for
ITAL102 or for ITAL112 (please note that this is a fast paced module).
Please note that 101/102/103/104 language modules may be scheduled in the evening (6-8pm) due to timetabling
clashes.
MODL200: Language Learning and Teaching: Theory and Practice is a placement module, which includes a practical
element in a local school or within the university, where students assist as native speakers of their own language or
any second language that they speak at least at B2 level. Enrolment in this module is conditional on placement
availability and therefore students should always choose a back-up option as well.

Music, Department of General Guidance: Students wishing to register for modules in the Department of Music have a vast array of choices.
Nonetheless, it is important to consider that some modules have pre-requisites or require specific knowledge or
experience that you will have to demonstrate before you can register. These can include, amongst others, having taken
specific modules at your home institution (that are equivalent to pre-requisite modules at the Department of Music),
having a certain level of proficiency in different areas or staying in Liverpool for two full semesters (some modules
span across both semesters). In all cases you have to demonstrate that you have the relevant pre-requisites or
background in order to register to some of our modules. The modules that you can take are shown in the table below
alongside the specific requirements for registering and how to demonstrate them. Note that for various modules you
